Tuesday Late Night Edition
The Weekly Waiver Wire
It may be too soon to panic for some, for
others it’s time to make moves. If you are making a move, these are the players
to consider picking up for Week 2;
Tarik Cohen (PPR value) The Bears rookie
running back only saw five touches in the backfield, but his 12 targets may be
something for owners to follow. The volume may be an indication of his usage
going forward.
Shane Vereen (PPR value) The Giants
running back saw the bulk of his work come very late in the game as he turned
10 targets into 9 receptions. The Giants running game struggled which could be
a recurring theme this season, indicating Vereen could see more work.
Javorius Allen (PPR value) The Ravens lose
Danny Woodhead for 2 months and fantasy owners find Buck Allen. Allen is a
capable pass catcher and will likely fill the role Woodhead was playing.
Nelson Agholor (PPR value) The Eagles wide
receiver saw 8 targets in week and finished with a line of 6/86/1. Likely
undrafted if available, Agholor should continue to be involved in the passing
game and be a safe play for owners.
JJ Nelson (PPR value) The Cardinals
receiver was productive in week 1 finishing with 5 catches for 43 yards
receiving and a score on 6 targets. With Davin Johnson sidelined for 2-3
months, the offense may now have to go through quarterback Carson Palmer.
Nelson could see even more work going forward.
Cooper Kupp (PPR value) The Rams rookie
looked sure handed and reliable on Sunday turning in a line of 4/76/1 on 6
targets. He’s going to be a popular pick up and worthy addition.
Travis Benjamin (standard value) The
Chargers deep threat is going to more of a boom or bust play, but has fantasy
relevance. He was able to shake loose against a sound Denver secondary, he’s
surely to find more success going forward and could be worth a roster spot.
Keep your eyes on.
Jermaine Kearse (PPR value) It may be an
early move here, but a new addition to the Jets passing game turned in 7 receptions
for 59 yards. Kearse saw 9 targets indicating he could become a mainstay, but
owners will have to play this as a wait and see.
Terrance Williams (PPR value) The Cowboys
other receiver was busy Sunday night hauling in 6 passes for 68 yards on 7 targets.
These are not numbers that jump off the board, but there’s enough there for
owners to take notice. He’s a wait and see proposition as well.
That’s My Take.
